As a general rule, nothing curated by an algorithm is genuine.
Iterate that for an algorithm controlled by an American corporation.
Then iterate it again for Musk.
Combine that with everyone having left Twitter who isn't maga.
No, your experience on Twitter is not representative of the average American.
Lemmy also has algorithms mind you.
They all do.
Ok so nothing is genuine? That's your take?
Sounds like a reasonable conclusion.
That's the opposite or "reasonable" lol
I don't see what's unreasonable about saying that you shouldn't take the things you read on algorithmic social media sites as representative of any population at large. That it's not a "genuine" representation of any population.
Every social media is "algorithmic". So, yes, it's unreasonable to say you should take nothing you read anywhere as representative.
That... doesn't make any sense.
Every rabid beast is "dangerous". So, yes, it's unreasonable to say you should assume that if you run into one it will attack you.
That's what you sound like.
What a shitty analogy
How is it different? You're basically saying that all social media is untrustworthy and so therefore it's ridiculous to not trust any of it. There's no logic there.
That's the opposite of what I'm saying.
